On my many ski trips, there is no uniform way to place skis on a 
rack.  It seems to me that there must be some optimum way to
orient a pair of skis to reduce air resistance and enhance
car handling.  After all, there are only four possibilities:

1) skis up tips forward
2) skis up tips back
3) skis down tips back
4) skis down tips forward

Ofcourse some people have those wierd racks that mount skis together
and sideways, and others (particullary z and porshe drivers) mount
on the hatch......
